Florence Pugh Dazzles in Sheer Gown at Klara and the Sun Premiere
Florence Pugh wore a sheer floor-length Rodarte gown with floral embroidery and sculptural shoulders at the world premiere of Taika Waititi’s film Klara and the Sun on October 15, 2026, in London, The Daily Beast reported. The 30-year-old actress arrived at the event during the 70th BFI London Film Festival, taking the sheer-dress trend up a notch in a head-to-toe see-through design.
The dystopian drama is based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 novel of the same name, which chronicles a solar-powered, human-like artificial intelligence designed to combat loneliness. Jenna Ortega stars as the titular character alongside Pugh, Mia Tharia, Amy Adams, and Aran Murphy.
Premiere Details and Accessories
For the red carpet appearance, Pugh accessorized her gown with blue stone earrings, a statement ring, and silver heels, wearing her hair half-up. Her makeup featured earthy tones, including subtle gold eyeshadow that highlighted her hazel eyes, a faint pink blush on her cheekbones, and a soft taupe lip.

Fans turned to social media to praise the outfit. One user on X posted that she “never misses,” while another wrote, “The embroidery alone is doing more than most red carpet looks this year,” and a third added, “Can’t believe she’s real.”
Pugh Defends Her History of Daring Looks
Pugh has a history of wearing daring sheer looks, including a transparent pink tulle Valentino gown at the brand’s Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2022 show in Rome, Italy. After facing backlash for that outfit, she addressed critics in an Instagram post, writing, “Why are you so scared of breasts? Small? Large? Left? Right? Only one? Maybe none? What. Is. So. Terrifying.”
In the same post, she noted that she knew the dress would generate commentary and stated that she was excited to wear it without a hint of nervousness. Later, in a 2023 interview with Vogue, the Oscar nominee made it clear she would not adhere to unrealistic expectations for women’s bodies, stating that she would never lose weight to look fantastic for a role.
